Welcome to The Mountain of Hell, one of the most hectic mountain bike races on earth. Hosted every summer at Les Deux Alpes, France, this legendary downhill race begins with a high altitude mass start with over 1,000 riders (both amateur and pro) fiercely battling it out on a snowy 11,200 foot glacier.
Once the riders hit dirt and pack thins, they are faced with with a 17 mile course which descends 8,200 feet through variable terrain including snow, ice, gravel, and mud.
“From wipeouts on ice to elbow-to-elbow chaos at full speed, this race is pure adrenaline.”
The following video is a full-race POV from Junior 1 rider Leo Lagache as he battles through the chaos to the valley floor:
